Storage medium storing a game program, game apparatus, and game control method
First Claim
1. A non-transitory storage medium storing a game program for a game apparatus having operation programmed logic circuitry, storage programmed logic circuitry, and a display, said game program causing a computer of said game apparatus to function as:
- operation information acquisition programmed logic circuitry for acquiring operation information from said operation programmed logic circuitry;
a first-object display controller for controlling display of a first object based on first-object image data stored in said storage programmed logic circuitry, said first object being fired or rebounded by a player based on the operation information acquired by said operation information acquisition programmed logic circuitry;
a target object display for displaying a target object on said display, said target object being a target for contacting said first object by said player;
a second-object display controller for controlling display of a second object based on any of a plurality of second-object image data stored in said storage programmed logic circuitry, said second object including a plurality of part images and having a same appearance as said target object;
contact determination programmed logic circuitry for determining whether said first object has contacted said target object;
a distance calculator for calculating, after it is determined by said contact determination programmed logic circuitry that said first object has contacted said target object, a distance from a center of said target object to a contact location;
a direction calculator for calculating, after it is determined by said contact determination programmed logic circuitry that said first object has contacted said target object, a direction oriented toward said contact location from the center of said target object; and
a selector for selecting any of a plurality of second objects according to the distance calculated by said distance calculator, whereinsaid second-object display controller allows the second object selected by said selector to be displayed so as to be oriented in the direction calculated by said direction calculator, and allows, after the display, each of the plurality of part images including the second object to be randomly moved and displayed.

Abstract
A video game apparatus includes a CPU, and the CPU allows a game to proceed according to input data transmitted from a controller performed a swing operation by a player. When a ball hit by a player character according to a swing operation performed by the player collides with a target object, a collision location thereof is detected. For example, a normal target image and several different types of broken target images are prepared and one of the broken target images is selected according to the collision location. In addition, a determinant is calculated for placing the broken target image in a virtual three-dimensional space such that a direction oriented toward the collision location from a center of a target object matches a reference direction of the broken target image. Then, the broken target image is placed and thereafter display is provided in such a manner that the target object is breaking.
